anticipation.

I'm really itching to start a new batch or two. Now that I have all day to do what I want, I can do a few batches.

Also, now that I have a yeast stirrer, I can turn one wyeast slap pack into two 5-6 gallon batches.

What say you, I start a new batch of a revised porter recipe, and a batch of brown (for Milan and Shannon) ?? That sound like a plan?

Good. I thought so too.

Here's some pics from my Wort Chiller. Basically all it is, is a 10 ft segment of 1/2" copper tubing, attached to two 5ft segments of hose. The connections are screw-clamps, and underneath are rubber washers to waterproof them. The first test, water leaked like all get out, so I added the rubber washers in to help, and they helped marvelously. Also, I bent the copper tubing by hand. I didn't have a model to wrap it around, so I just tugged and bent by hand. Anyway, it's a simple enough setup, and here's the pic's:
